I took the April MCAT and think I got around a 28-30. I have 3.75 GPA and 3.5 BCPM from Emory. So I'm wondering what schools people would recommend, here is a preliminary list (I know you guys see a 100 of these a day, but I'd really appreciate it cause I'm going to start the AMCAS application soon):

University of Oklahoma-my state school
Emory-I hear they give prefernece to their undergrads
Wake Forest
GW
Einstein-doing research there this summer, so maybe i can get my foot into the doorway
Pritzker-dream school
Loyola
MCV
Miami
Gtown
Boston
Temple
Drexel
NYMC
Albany
Possibly KU and a couple of Texas Schools

these seem good esp if your predicted mcat score comes to fruition...but maybe a few more schools. of which i really cant suggest any since i dont know where your interests lie...
and just cause you do research at a school doesnt necessarily mean its gonna help you.
there are people that know people on the adcoms and still end up getting rejected...

No one else has any comments; come on. What about SLU? At what point does a strong gpa make up for a sub-30 MCAT? Would a 3.7 for example be strong enough to bring a lower MCAT score or would you need like a 3.8-3.9?

Appreciate it.

it doesn't look like you're uncompetitive with your stats, its just that you can't be choosy. your list looks good though.
